Google Cloud Reviews

We've been using it for a couple of school projects here. We have implemented it for a lot of schools with Google as our infrastructure. They're using Firebase for their data. 

It's a nice product overall. 

The solution scales well.

There's no installation process to contend with.

It is stable. 

The pricing overall is very reasonable. 

It has been secure overall. 

Overall, I'm happy with it. It's not missing any features. 

We'd like the storage to be increased. 

We've been using the solution for the last couple of years.

The stability is quite good. There are no issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability is awesome. We don't have to do the heavy lifting of maintaining the infrastructure, or anything, as everything is bundled up by Google. We just have to apply a code, and then we have to run it.

We have about 1,000 users on the product right now and plan to increase usage in the future. 

Support has been good overall. We have been satisfied with their level of assistance. 

Positive

We're using Google and Google-related products, including Kubernetes. Those are the current products here.

We were previously using other clouds for other purposes, however, in our latest project, Google Cloud met all of our needs. 

There is no installation to speak of as the product is in the cloud. 

We pay for the service yearly.

We find it to be cheaper than the competitors. They have a pay-as-you-go model.

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

It's mostly for storage of personal documents, some photos, and emails.

It's purely for personal use.

I like that it is free. It's easy to use, and it's reliable.

The Notes application could be better. Some of the email portal features can be tricky, but my mom uses it just fine, so it's probably intuitive enough.

And some of the email portal features. My mom sometimes has trouble with them, but she's not very tech-savvy, so that's understandable. The fact that she can use it at all shows that it's pretty user-friendly.

I started using Google around 2012. I've been using the cloud version.

I've never had a problem with stability so I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

I have a free business account, and my family uses it as well. It's easy to use, it works, and it is free, and we all have our own domain email addresses. It's absolutely awesome.

I'm good with the free Google account I have. It allows ten users, but I only need four or five, so it's plenty for now.

If we ever need more storage or users, it's easy to upgrade by paying a small monthly fee. It is really simple. 

Never needed it. It's always just worked perfectly.

Google Cloud was the first one I signed up for. It's always worked, it's always been free, and I haven't had a reason to look elsewhere. I don't see a need to at this point.

I've been using it for so long; it just always worked. There was no setup; it just worked.

I can stay connected with others. I have free email, free storage, free notes, and free Google apps, and I use it in conjunction with the free Linux operating system on my computer.

I don't need to pay for licensing for anything. 

I don't pay for the license. For me, it's completely free. 

Just try it out. If you like it, stick with it. If not, then look around for something else. But in my experience, if you find something that works, don't overthink it. Just use it.

It's been a great service for my needs. Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten because there is room for improvement. 

I use the solution to deploy .NET applications to the cloud. I deploy Web APIs and console applications.

Cloud Run is pretty helpful. Pub/Sub is also helpful.

The product must provide support for .NET. Microsoft has support for .NET because .NET is a Microsoft product. We ran into an issue when we were waiting for Google to support .NET 6. Google is slower to support .NET. It must cater more to .NET developers.

I have been using the solution for one year.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. We rarely had issues. We run our applications on Cloud Run. We had a feature in our software where we had to generate an Excel report, and it limited us to 32 megabytes. We had to work around it.

I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. Probably 100 users are using the solution in our organization.

We were using Azure before.

The initial setup is fairly easy. We have a tool called Jenkins to deploy the product. It only takes a few minutes.

The solution is cheaper than Azure.

Google Cloud came late to the game, so it's not used as much as AWS. We can give it a try because it's easy. It’s easy to configure. It gives us another option. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We have an ERP platform in our organization to manage things. Such platforms work well in medium and small-sized companies but we have a lot of modules and hence use GCP as a platform to deploy our web. We will also incorporate AI features in the future to improve the software.

The solution has improved our web apps so that we can have a canary deployment. GCP also helps us upload new features and changes to our software without impacting a lot of users with the network. The AI features have improved the software as well.

I have found the AI features, networking, and quality of Google products valuable.

The UI is beautiful but not easy to use, and also a little slow. Anything that you click is slow to load. It is also not easy to find something. I do not find the left-hand side menu good. We have a lot of options mixed there and we need the best way to deploy cloud resources. I prefer Azure ARM templates since their JSON files are easy to manipulate and integrate with other tools.

I have been using Google Cloud for four years.

The solution is stable though some of the features don’t work.

The solution is scalable. There are three users of GCP in my organization.

I am the solution’s administrator and have deployed it in my organization. The setup is not so easy. Following the steps that are shown on the screen is okay but the problem arises when we have to create new users. For example, it is not easy to get permission for creating service accounts for users. You have to edit the users, insert a lot of documents, and search the internet to find a solution.

There is good ROI with the solution because we have a lot of solutions and some of the features come for free. Even the paid features are priced fairly.

It is not easy to calculate the price of the solution from the pricing table since they are not standard rates. However, I find the solution’s prices to be fair and reasonable.

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is easy to maintain. I would recommend anyone willing to try the solution to study the platform and do some courses on it. I studied the platform a lot before using it. If you do not study the platform, you will find it very disorganized and difficult to maintain.

For personal storage, Google Workspace, Google portal, Google video, Google file, and Google Cloud Shell for programming language.

The services that are the most helpful include Google Portal, Google Video, Google File, and Google Cloud Shell.

The performance after long-term use shows the storage is too full, and I cannot add more storage without paying for it. I want to migrate to another solution if I need to pay for additional storage. It would also be enjoyable if there is no HBase in Google Workspace.

I have been using Google Cloud for some time and am still using it.

The problem with scaling is that if I add space to Google Cloud, I must pay for it, so I want to migrate to another solution.

It's easy to deploy Google Cloud. The deployment is compatible and efficient.

If I add up space in Google Cloud, I must pay for it. The pricing of Google Cloud is considered cheap.

I have used Alibaba Cloud and found it more complex compared to Google Cloud, which is more practical.

I recommend Google Cloud to other people.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We used Google Cloud for to host our automation platform.

Google Cloud performs well. 

I would like to see more code generation features that enable you to take user input in simple English and automatically convert it to code. 

I have been using Google Cloud for four years.

I rate Google Cloud eight out of 10 for stability.

I rate Google Cloud eight out of 10 for scalability. 

The IT team centrally manages the deployment and gives us access to the instance that hosts the automated platform.

I rate Google Cloud seven out of 10. It increases the efficiency of any user to have a solid technology platform. You get the advantage of auto-scaling and upgrades to the latest technology. 

The primary use case of this solution is for storage and document sharing.

For example, if I have a customer and they want to share a document, I can access it through Google.

Ubiquiti is what is most valuable. They have basically mimicked Microsoft, giving you the equivalent of Office 365 type of services that are available.

It's robust, and it has a wide reach in terms of office applications including storage.

It's easy to access in a public cloud environment.

Every once in a while I have trouble accessing it, but I don't know if that's a function of the Cloud, the way the Cloud is set up, or it's just something on my browser. 

Stability could be improved in terms of the Cloud in general administration. It's frustrating when companies have to deal with Cloud Administration. 

Change configuration management is an issue. I can envision customer companies that are Cloud-enabled where their biggest problem is having to keep up with the changes and managing it.

The API is constantly evolving. IP addresses are constantly changing and it's hard to keep up with all of those changes.

Typically it is being administered through IT organizations, although they have no visibility.

If you engage in a security solution through a cloud provider, you have no view, it's all faith, trust, and hope.

How do you reconcile the two, to provide the visibility, do it seamlessly, and make it easy to use?

If they could include a popup section where all of the new updates are. That would be helpful. I don't have the experience or intelligence to know what it is that they are showing, or where I can get that I might need, which would make a feature like this important.

It would like it if upon starting the browser, it tells you that it is out of date and asks if you would like to update. That would lead customers to take the optimal path as opposed to having to figure it out themselves.

There are issues with stability. There may be capacity issues at the time but it's hard to guess what the root cause is. There is no visibility.  You don't have the visibility unless you really know upfront what your problem is. Otherwise, you are left hanging.

It's scalable, but I don't plan to increase my usage. Personally, I avoid a public cloud offering system from a security perspective unless it's something a customer requires to access documents.

Prior to the public cloud, I used another solution more like a public hosting-type of service. It didn't give you the scale and the means of payment that you have with the Cloud. As an example, look at Lotus Notes, 1980 technology. There is no comparison, Google is far superior. People see the ease, simplicity, and again the Ubiquiti of the service attached to it.

The initial setup is simple. You go in there and you register. It starts with your email address and then you are done.

We provide private networks, what we call VPNs. It is the older, traditional VPN type service for our customers, which gives them security and performance metrics that you can't get from the internet.

We have a gen engine that has that interface into the cloud providers including Google.

We don't by services from Google, we are not even doing infrastructures, or platform as a service or software as a service.

We are not using this solution in my organization. We have our own internal storage for security reasons, and predominantly, we use it in-house. We call it orange, it's flex storage. It's our intranet.

We either use in-house or have exclusive arrangements with companies.

The concept of the cloud is great, you have the scale, you have the financial model, metered pay as you go, those are great, but what's worse is that it's a black box.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Google Cloud is perceived as a cost-effective and user-friendly option, especially compared to AWS. The current affordability and ease of use make it suitable for medium-sized companies. While the complexity may increase in the future, for now, Google Cloud is considered easy to use.

The product should be more cost-effective. 

I have been using the product for six years. 

The product is stable. 

My company has more than 1000 users. 

The tool's deployment is not complex. 

Google Cloud's deployment can be done in-house. 

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. Various factors come into play when considering the adoption of Google Cloud. Cost is a significant consideration, but it's not the sole factor. The availability of skilled developers in the market, technology support, scalability for future growth, and the range of products offered are also crucial. Additionally, the ease of finding Google Cloud-certified developers and the level of support from the company or vendor contribute to the decision-making process.
